About this Event


Join us October 2–4 in NYC for three days designed to empower your creative work and career.

Creative Works EAST is where serious creatives gather to sharpen their skills, build meaningful connections, and reconnect with the heart of their work. We believe in mastery over mediocrity, collaboration over competition, and bold creativity that drives real change.

This isn’t about hype or hustle. It’s about doing the work, getting better, and building something that lasts.

You’ll leave with sharper skills, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose for your creative life and career.

What to Expect:

• Eye-opening presentations that bring bold ideas to life
• Insightful product demos that make your work sharper and more impactful
• Exclusive 3-hour, hands-on workshops taught by masters of their craft
• Meaningful connections with peers and industry leaders
• A curated pop-up market featuring inspiring makers from across the country

This is your space to reignite your passion, refine your craft, and find your people. You’ll be seen, heard, and valued as someone whose work brings meaning, inspiration, and beauty to the world.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional, an emerging talent, or simply passionate about creativity, Creative Works EAST offers something for everyone. Don’t miss this chance to grow your skills, connect with a dynamic community of creative minds, and ignite your imagination.
